On February 24, 2025, the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) reported an incident concerning the illegal import, trading, and sale of animal and livestock products. This incident highlights significant concerns regarding food safety and regulatory compliance within the sector.
The issue originated in Thailand, where the adulteration of animal and livestock products was detected. Such incidents pose a serious risk not only to consumer health but also to the integrity of the market and the welfare of animals involved in the supply chain.
The RASFF serves as a vital communication tool for food safety authorities across Europe, enabling swift action to be taken in response to food safety alerts. The detection of this illegal activity underscores the importance of stringent controls and monitoring systems to prevent the distribution of compromised products.
Authorities are expected to investigate the source and distribution channels of the affected products to mitigate any potential risks to public health and ensure compliance with existing regulations.
